2018 IS HERE, AND GORD IS ALREADY ON THE ROAD!   Rocky and I just spent a week on the roads of Northern Manitoba visiting the communities of Grand Rapids, Thompson, Pikwitonei, Flin Flon and Cormorant.  We were also able to connect with folks from Leaf Rapids, Moose Lake and South Indian Lake.  The weather was extremely cold, but the people were warm and welcoming.  When I arrived in Thompson, I realized that I did not have a proper parka (I'm such a city boy!), but I was able to get an incredible deal at Canadian Tire at 73% off (PTL)!  The following day it was -43C (no wind), and the next day it was -51C with wind chill.  I was (somewhat) warm and toasty. PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES! LAMP is blessed to serve the remote communities of Northern Manitoba.  In order to get staff and teams to these communities, we literally use planes, trains and automobiles.  Even when there is a road, sometimes it is only one by definition only.  This is a pic

WEEK TWO – “The Busy Week”

WEEK TWO (Teams are serving in Easterville, Grand Rapids, South Indian Lake, Thompson, York Landing and Deschambault) One Hundred Balloon Animals in Grand Rapids Week Two will be the busiest week of the summer for Andrew and myself!  This summer there are 39 Vacation Bible Schools (VBS) conducted by LAMP.  Seventeen of these are in my area of Northwestern Manitoba and Northeastern Saskatchewan.  There were six of these VBS’s this week in Easterville, Grand Rapids, South Indian Lake, Thompson, York Landing and Deschambault.  Andrew and I enjoyed visiting the teams in each of these communities and lending a hand whenever we could.   Andrew lends a hand in York Landing WAS IT WORTH IT? Hours of preparation by each team and the LAMP staff went into each VBS, and one only has to look into the faces of the children to see that it was all worthwhile! EVENTS FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY The cornerstone of our summer ministry is the VBS.  This year, we are teaching t

FALL NEWSLETTER 2019

THANKSGIVING REFLECTION Throughout October, I was once again humbled as I reflected upon the many blessings that the Lord has afforded me.  The top of the list is the free gift of salvation offered through Christ’s redeeming work on the cross.  Throughout my life He has always been there and has lovingly drawn me into a deeper relationship with Himself.  Since 2003, I have been honoured to serve Him through Missionfest Manitoba (14 years) and LAMP (2.5 years thus far).  And when I think about LAMP, I thank the Lord for my many prayer partners and supporters. It is because of you that we are able to touch the lives of those who live in some of the remotest parts of Northern Canada, and I give thanks and praise to our Lord for each one of you! One of the most precious gifts that you can give anyone is the gift of your time. SUMMER MINISTRY 2019 What an incredible summer!  In Northwestern Manitoba and Northeastern Saskatchewan our teams of volunteer m
